In 2014, another melodramatic film was released on Russian screens. The film is called "My Sister, Love." Reviews about the series - the topic of the article.
Life with a clean slate
Elena Shilova - the main character of the serial film "My Sister, Love." Reviews of the film are far from all laudatory, because its plot is not unique. But something different from other paintings in the genre of melodrama in this series is still present. The heroine does not go after all sorts of failures to Moscow, as most characters in such films do. On the contrary, Elena leaves her Moscow apartment and leaves for a provincial town.
The girl’s mother is seriously ill. Elena visits her in the hospital, and her father, meanwhile, finds a replacement for her dying wife. Mother is dying. After her death, life in the parental home becomes unbearable. In addition, a fire occurs in the apartment, the culprits of which are the newly-made widower and his new passion. Elena, without packing her bags (everything burned out), goes to the deceased mother’s small homeland. In the provinces, a girl is met by a relative.
Love triangle
In a small town, far from Moscow, the main events of the film “My Sister, Love” are taking place. Reviews about the series are mostly negative, then how there is an abundance of standard plot twists in it. Elena learns that the person whom she considered her father to be her whole life is not at all familiar to her. A real parent lives and lives in the province. And he, of course, does not suspect its existence.
Elena meets her sister. From the first moments, a newly-born relative becomes attached to the girl. They become close friends. But the trouble is that Elena was brought up by a young man from the railway station to the house of a relative. For a short period of time, a strong feeling flares up between them, which Elena has been trying to repay for several episodes. The young man’s name is Andrey. And he is the groom of the sister of the main character. The love triangle is the main storyline of the first three episodes of the film "My Sister, Love."
Reviews about the series are far from laudatory also because the images of the characters are template. Elena is a positive, selfless girl. She sacrifices everything for the sake of other people's feelings. Suffers, but looks at everything that happens with angelic eyes.
Provincial passions
In the very first days after the arrival of the main character in the city, serious unrest begins. The fact is that she is extremely similar to her late mother. And so, at first sight, Elena’s father, Nikolai, falls in love with Elena. The man is a former lover of the mother of the main character. He calls from time to time Lena Anya, loses his head, chases the girl. Ultimately, he forgets about his wife, with whom he lived for many years, and the business, which he also devoted more than a dozen years to.
Elena's sister - Katya - meanwhile, learns that her fiance is in love with another. In the course of a small investigation, she becomes aware of the name of her rival. And then the real adventures begin in the life of the heroes of the series “My Sister, Love”. Reviews about the film would be positive if its premiere took place thirty years ago. But today, when Russian viewers have reviewed thousands of melodramas of foreign and domestic production, it is not easy to surprise them.
Katya finds out that Andrei is in love with Elena. And therefore, makes an attempt to commit suicide. She does this not at home (like all melodrama-respecting heroines), but at her sister's work. That is, in the trauma room of the local hospital.
A sly plan
Katya comes to her senses. A suicide attempt, committed by using all the medicines at hand, does not adversely affect her health. The very next day, she comes up with an insidious plan. And after its implementation, Andrei is forever disappointed in Elena.
Nikolay Potapov
Father Andrei is played by Igor Bochkin. This person is selfish, tough. First, he tries to force his son to marry Katya, because this wedding will somehow have a positive impact on his business. Then contributes to the discord in their relationship.
A boring story is the plot of ten episodes of the film "My Sister, Love." Reviews from the audience about the melodrama appeared negative after the first part was shown. The scriptwriter, suggesting such a reaction, added criminal motives to his creation. In the life of the heroes, misfortunes begin to occur, one after another: arson, murder, disease. Andrew is soon behind bars. He is accused of a crime, which he certainly did not commit. Elena is expecting a baby from him. Childbirth occurs in a car. A classic element for Mexican series has been added to the plot - a temporary insanity of the heroine.
Reviews of the series "My Sister, Love" are negative. There is not a single complex character in the film. The dialogs are simple and concise. The characters of melodrama express feelings with the help of tears, sighs and drinking alcohol.
